Saturday Video Round Up For August 20 – 26: Gamescom 2017 Edition

It’s been a pretty big week if you’re a fan of video games and let’s be honest, you’re here so you must fall into that camp. Gamescom came roaring out of the gates this week and a flood of trailers descended onto the internet like a cloud of locusts. The Video Round Up is bulging at the seams with new video content for you this week. Seriously, there’s a huge amount of quality content this week, so here’s just a small taste.

Call me a bit of a fanboy, but the trailer that Ubisoft released at Gamescom for Assassin’s Creed Origins was simply fantastic. It’s a bit slower paced, but it shows a bunch of characters (like Cleopatra) players will be interacting with during the campaign. Not only that, there’s a super badass fight scene at the end, with protagonist Bayek even killing a dude with his bow and arrows using only his legs.

Star Wars Battlefront II looks to be a vast improvement over it’s predecessor based on everything we’ve seen so far. In addition to a single player campaign, multiplayer battles span across all three major eras, customization has gotten a major boost, and as we see now, space battles are way more epic. Check out the latest Starfighter Assault footage in the Gamescom 2017 trailer.

Seriously, the Round Up is bursting at the seams this week. I’ve also got new videos for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Destiny 2, Overwatch,and so much more after the break, so come check out this week’s batch of trailers!
